Miscellaneous I started Lichess, Ask Me Anything

Hi Reddit, you may know about this little chess server that was first seen online in January 2010.

Initially a fun open-source lobby project to learn about web development, it was then picked up by the community, who made it into the second most popular chess server.

A lot has changed in 11 years, but not the original idea of being open source, without paywalls, ads or trackers. In short, chess without the BS.

I owe you, the online chess community, the great honor to be a full-time lichess.org employee. Ask me anything. I'll start answering at 12AM UTC and will be at it all day long.

[edit] Carpal tunnel syndrome kicking in due to too much typing. I'll write even shorter answers from now on. Sorry about that.

[edit2] I'd better stay away from the keyboard for a while. Let's call it a day, thank you all!
